Spanish outlet El Confidential has released a statement confirming Manchester United’s interests in Welshman Gareth Bale. The Spanish newspaper on Thursday said United have officially thrown a bid on the table for the Real Madrid forward.

After a series of ups and downs in the start of the season in the La Liga which was attributed to injuries, the Welsh star can raise his shoulders high following his jaw-breaking performance in the Champions League final last weekend.

Bale proved once again he could be relied upon repeating his genius performance at the FIFA Club World Cup in the UEFA final against Liverpool scoring twice against the Merseyside club and leading Los Blancos to their third consecutive European League title.

However, after the match the 29-year-old revealed he wants to leave the Spanish club. The star confirmed he’s frustrated over his limited game time in Real Madrid.
